Allergy Season: Don't Be A Victim

It finally seems like the warmer weather and sunny days are here to stay, but those of you who love to experience the great outdoors know that springtime comes at a price (at least in Georgia). Oh yes, you know what I’m talking about...POLLEN. When you notice that everyone’s car is yellow, it’s allergy season! But before you reach for the nasal spray and Sudafed, allow me to let you in on a little secret. You can get your sinuses adjusted by a chiropractor.

Well, if you have been watching my Instagram stories you already know that getting adjusted can help you combat your allergy symptoms! I’ll say it again for the people in the back - getting adjusted can help you fight off those pesky allergy symptoms!

For those of you who are unfamiliar with the physiology behind it, Chiropractic Adjustments positively affect the neurological functions in the body. Removing vertebral subluxations (misalignments in your spine) allows your nerves to communicate with each other in an unobstructed flow. This optimizes the function of all of your body systems, including your immune system, which becomes hyperactive during allergy season. Adjustments in the thoracic spine and rib cage will help you breathe easier, and sinus adjustments in particular help promote drainage, which is important in preventing infection.
